2nd Global Conference: Revenge - Probing the Boundaries

2nd Global Conference
Revenge - Probing the Boundaries

Saturday 16th July - Monday 19th July 2011
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers

Revenge, so we are told, is a dish best served
cold: a 'sweet' wreaking of vengeance on those who
have – either in reality or in our minds –
slighted, wronged or in some way 'injured' us and
who are now 'enjoying' their just deserts by an
avenging angel (or angels) on the great day of
reckoning.

This inter- and multi-disciplinary research and
publications project seeks to explore the
multi-layered ideas and actions of vengeance or
revenge. The project aims to explore the nature of
revenge, its relationship with issues of justice,
and its manifestation in the
actions of individuals, groups, communities and
nations. The project will also consider the
history of revenge, its 'legitimacy', the 'scale'
of vengeful actions and whether revenge has (or
should have) 'limits'. Representations of revenge
in film, literature, tv, theatre and radio
will be analysed; cultural 'traditions' of
retaliation and revenge will be considered. And
the role of mercy, forgiveness and pardon will be
assessed.

Papers will be considered on the following indicative
themes:

~ the nature of revenge
~ vengeance in history
~ revenge cross-culturally
~ the role of revenge
~ is there any proper and improper time for
revenge? Can an act of revenge be carried across
generations?
~ revenge, vengeance, retaliation: to avenge
~ justice and revenge; redressing the balance,
just desert
~ betrayal, humiliation, shame, resentment and revenge
~ revenge and the individual; revenge and the
group; revenge and the nation
~ revenge in literature and the arts
~ revenge in music
~ revenge in tv, film, radio and theatre: the nemesis
~ relationship between revenge and mercy,
forgiveness, pardon
~ revenge case-studies: individual and collective

Papers on any other topic related to the theme
will also be considered.

The Steering Group particularly welcomes the
submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers
will also be considered on any related theme.
300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday
14th January 2011. If an abstract is accepted for
the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 27th May 2011. Abstracts
should be submitted simultaneously to both

1st Global Conference: Images of Whiteness - Exploring Critical Issues

1st Global Conference
Images of Whiteness - Exploring Critical Issues

Tuesday 12th – Thursday 14th July 2011
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers
Since the publication of Richard Dyer's seminal
study White in 1997, academics have increasingly
turned critical attention to the subject of
racial whiteness. Publications include historical
accounts detailing the emergence of whiteness as a
racial category, cultural studies exploring
the representation and construction of white
identities in popular culture, film and television
scholars examining narratives about white people,
reflecting white themes, white obsessions, and
white anxieties.
Consistent with the shift in critical studies from
minority identity formations to consider 'central'
identities – masculinity, heterosexuality – the
study of whiteness is increasingly understood as
central to understanding the operation of 'race'
as a form of social categorisation.
Inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary
perspectives are sought from those engaged in any
field relevant to the study of whiteness including
media and film studies, performance and creative
writing, cultural theory, sociology, psychology
and medical approaches including cosmetic surgery,
and other cognate areas.

Papers, presentations, workshops and pre-formed
panels are invited on issues related to any of the
following themes:

* Appropriation of racial 'otherness' within
white culture
* Images of whiteness in serial television
* Histories of white representation in film
and television
* Aesthetics of racial whiteness
* Whiteness and multiculturalism
* Performances of/performing 'whiteness'
* Writing whiteness in fiction/non-fiction
* Whiteness and digital culture including
video games
* Fetishisation of whiteness in non-white
cultures
* Racial whiteness, fashion and cosmetics
industries
* Whiteness and absence, emptiness and death
* The invisibility of whiteness
* Technologies of white representation
* Whiteness, gender and sexuality
* Images of whiteness in non-white cultures
* Theories of whiteness and the concept of
white supremacy
* Feminism, queer theory and discourses of
whiteness
* Ethnicity, whiteness and consumer culture
* Music and music videos and whiteness

Papers will also be considered on any related
theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by
Friday 14th January 2011. If an abstract is
accepted for the conference, a full draft paper
should be submitted by Friday 27th May 2011.
Abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to
both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word,
WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following
information and in this order:

a) author(s)
b) affiliation
c) email address
d) title of abstract
e) body of abstract

E-mails should be entitled: Whiteness Abstract
Submission.

ACAH 2011 - The Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities 2011

ACAH 2011 - The Asian Conference on Arts and
Humanities 2011
27 to 30 May 2011
Osaka, Japan

The Second Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities
in 2011 aims to build on the strengths and
successes of the 2010 conference by offering a
true celebration of interdisciplinary study in a
stimulating scholarly environment, and in the
wonderfully rich physical and cultural environment
of Japan. This international conference will again
bring together a number of university scholars
working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to
share ideas and forge working relationships with
each other.

This year's conference's two new themes are
Ancient and Modern and Journeys of Discovery,
and the organizers hope for these topics to
inspire and drive next year's event.

The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 01
February 2011.

Special Theme I: Ancient and Modern
Special Theme II: Journeys of Discovery

The conference offers the suggestion of two
optional themes to concentrate the mind; Ancient
and Modern and Journeys of Discovery, and the
organizers encourage submissions that approach
these themes from a variety of perspectives.
However, the submission of other topics for
consideration is welcome and we also encourage
sessions within and across a variety of
interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives.

For more details about submitting an abstract, and
the conference programme, please visit the website
at acah.iafor.org

Please note: ACAH 2011 will be held alongside
LibrAsia 2011 (The Asian Conference on Literature
and Librarianship) and registrants for either
conference will be given the opportunity to attend
sessions in the parallel event at no extra charge.
